Andrew, I met via Craft Cocktail Club, a FB group. And while I have never met him in person, he has shared what he is drinking with me via chat.
Currently he is in Northern Italy, enjoying a long awaited holiday.
He sent me the recipe for this drink, and the name, which he had at a bar in Florence or Verona the other night. I forget exactly where he was at the time.
But it’s delicious.
30ml Gin- I used Roku
30ml Cynar
22.5ml Fresh Lemon Juice
15ml 1:1 Simple Syrup.
No Garnish
As it came with no directions, I stirred it over ice, then strained over a single large ice cube.
It’s was a delicious drink. Tart at the first sip, but smoothing out over your tongue, with a delightful mouth feel as well.
